Fallout Equestria: Wasteland Guardian
Chapter 33: The City
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOn an V-4 Vertibuck, it entered the city's airspace where it started to get shot at but landed at an old multi-story parking lot. Purple got out with Sunrise Storm and with a few members of the Wasteland Guardians and with Lieutenant Honey Cake with them.
A Unicorn soldier saluted Purple and said, "Commander, Private Atom, D-Company 5th Rifle Platoon."
Purple looked up to the right to see a flying ship hovering in the sky and asked what in the world it is.
"An airship." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "I denied the use of cloudships for him and I guess your brother built his own. Alright, Purple go kick your brother's ass for me. I would go any farther but due to being pregnant I ain't going to harm our unborn foal."
Purple and Sunrise went to go to the front to fight the GPE soldiers under the command of Base.
"So Purple do you have any plans when the war with the Enclave is over?" asked Sunrise Storm.
"Try to find a mare if it ain't Lieutenant Honey Cake or my ex-marefriend to be with and probably have some kids." said Purple, "Probably live on a farm somewhere and let you take over."
"You don't have to look far for a partner." said Sunrise Storm, "I'll be your partner. I've been alive for two hundred and nineteen years. I've been planning on settling down."
Unknown to Sunrise Storm is that before she turned into an alicorn when she was still a unicorn she married a unicorn who was in the Equestrian Marine Corps as a Corpsman and they had three kids but they were killed by raiders.
On a level thing, they had the high ground but the Wasteland Guardians under the command of Lieutenant Midnight Twister shot at the Grand Pegasus Enclave members with armor-piercing and Full Metal Jacket rounds. Even though rare but better suited for going against GPE members in power armor.
"Rangers down right," said Midnight Twister.
"Great." said Purple, "Now we got to deal with the Steel Rangers!"
Sunrise Storm just fired at the Grand Pegasus Enclave keeping them busy and Purple crawled his way over to a radio.
He then picked it up and said "Anypony on this freq?" asked Purple.
A pony replied, "Commander Artist. This is Yankee-Five we're ready for orders over."
Sunrise Storm asked who it is only for Purple to say "Artillery."
"Glad you copied artillery that was once used to bombard the Zebras," said Sunrise Storm. "We can use the fire support."
Sunrise Storm then kept Purple down so he wouldn't get killed.
After a few minutes, there was a loud explosion sound and Purple told "Yankee-Five" that they hit the target and thanked them for the fire support.
"We deal with the ground forces then we go and take out the flying ship," said Purple, So they can't easily reinforce the crew of the ship and so. I haven't worked out the details of how we're going to bring it down yet. If have to we'll improvise."
"Purple." said Midnight Twister, "This city is a nightmare but not as much of a nightmare as Fillydelphia."
"Midnight." said Purple, "Take your forces and find a way up to that ship. Ask Lt Honey Cake if she can reteach you how to fly a Vertibuck."
"We'll find a Vertibuck." said Midnight Twister, "We'll find a way to get you up there Purple."
Midnight Twister and several of his Wasteland Guardians ran to go find a Vertibuck.
____
At the entrance of a ruined building, they assaulted it where the garrisoned forces were no match for the armor-piercing bullets they had.
___
By a ledge, there was an old highway where they witnessed a wing of Alicorns literally tear apart a squad of Enclave ponies ripping their wings, tails, legs, even their heads off. But Purple didn't throw up because he swallowed it.
They stayed quiet until the alicorns walked by to look for their prey or for new prey.
It took several minutes but the alicorns finally walked off giving them a chance to move on. But Purple wanted to throw up again after seeing the deceased GPE soldiers that were torn to shreds by the three alicorns.
"Vertibucks!" said a Wasteland Guardian. "Take cover."
They all took cover and Purple found two battle wagons so they mounted up and rode around with two pulling until after a few minutes a V-4 Vertibuck came overhead and a heavily armored GPE member came out.
The GPE soldier killed all but Purple. Purple unloaded the minigun on him until it was out of ammo where Purple and Sunrise killed the Grand Pegasus Enclave member fastly.
"Purple." said Sunrise Storm, "Watch out incoming!"
They saw some Grand Pegasus Enclave members in a new aerial vehicle.
Sunrise Storm flew up to it and she hijacked it midair and got Purple. They fired the autocannon at a few V-4 Vertibucks knowing if they keep going back and get reinforcements from the "flying ship" then the Wasteland Guardians will eventually be wiped out in the city. A city once used by the Equestrian forces for urban warfare training.
Purple had a little bit of too much fun of being the flying vehicle's RIO and Armorment controller and gotten four Vertibucks to chase them.
A pursuing V-4 Vertibuck fired it's machine gun at them but missed. Purple told Sunrise to go through the tunnel so they did with the Vertibucks still chasing them.
There was a big hole in the ceiling and Purple pressed a button and the wings retracted and folded the wings but turned the engines off and they went up and out but it still tore the wings off.
The Vertibucks crashed into the metallic tunnel shield and blew up.
On the road.
Purple and Sunrise got up and Sunrise said, "There's the ship. Now we need to get up there."
They heard a wooshing sound and looked around. They saw twelve different pod things around them and twelve Grand Pegasus Enclave members come out and one of them pointed towards Sunrise and Purple and they pulled out some kind of sword holding it with their hooves and they circled and surrounded Purple and Sunrise.
"If we're going to die." said Sunrise Storm, "The last thing I want to say is "I love you Purple." Even though I'll live on even when you pass but I don't think it's going to come to that of us living another day."
Sunrise Storm then saw Purple just holding a combat knife in his left-wing and was about to attack if one of them lunged at them.
Purple's eye's then widened where the GPE soldiers don't know that behind them is a Green, Purple, and Blue Alicorns and they killed them but they didn't see Purple and Sunrise as a threat to them and they know that Sunrise doesn't have a hive mind or a mind connected to "The Unity"
Also, the other three Alicorns probably think that something is going on because of Purple being a male alicorn which nopony ever seen before.
The three alicorns left just leaving Purple and Sunrise there but soon Midnight Twister found them and picked them up in a V-4 Vertibuck and flew them to the so-called "Flying ship" and docked in the hanger.
___
In the hanger
the disguises didn't help and they were fired upon so they fought their way to the bridge.
___
On the bridge, all but one of the crew fought and died and the final one was a mare who was scared out of her life and did what they said. Purple even asked how they can destroy it and the tech mare told them several well-placed grenades, rockets, missiles or plastic explosives will do it.
Purple tossed a Frag grenade into the air a few times with his left hoof.
Sunrise told the tech mare to go to the hanger and to board their vertibuck or she can stay and die for a stallion who's going to mistreat her and she galloped as fast as she could.
Along the way they passed the armory and they loaded up on Novasurge rifles. Sunrise picked up a rocket launcher and they headed into the engine room and did what they had to do.
Over the PA system, "Warning. Engine overload is imminent. Starting emergency shut off procedure."
"Go Purple." said Sunrise Storm, "I'm going to be fine just go."
"No!" said Purple, "Nopony get's left behind."
"It's okay Purple." said Sunrise Storm, "Just go we'll all make it."
"I want you to be on that Vertibuck before we leave." said Purple, "Or we're not leaving without you."
Sunrise Storm told Purple some reassuring and comforting words that she'll be with him. So Purple galloped to the hanger and reboarded the V-4 Vertibuck.
It took a while and the PA system announced that the engines reached dangerous levels and will detonate in "T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1", and Midnight Twister wasn't going to stay and flew out.
The airship thing blew up and Sunrise Storm knew it would be a one-way trip so she stayed behind and sacrificed herself to destroy the airship that Base had constructed and she took out between five hundred and fourteen to ten thousand "recruits and soldiers" on the ship before they were deployed to the surface.
Unknown to them is that Base is starting to have his forces to capture ponies and tell them to join the Grand Pegasus Enclave even if they aren't pegasi. He knows sooner of later the council will hear about what's going on and turn against him.
___
On the V-4 Vertibuck
Purple got a note and it's from Sunrise Storm and it says.
"Dear Purple. Please don't cry for or about me. The ship thing will try and turn off the engines so I have to stay on board and I really do love you since the day a couple of months ago when we first met. I imagined we would be together and have some foals. But I'm going to stop these Grand Pegasus Enclave soldiers from being deployed down to the ground. But a relationship between us wouldn't work out I'm 219 and you're 19 and it wouldn't work out. But I do love you. Do me a favor Purple. Just one favor and please kick your brother's ass for me.-Love Lieutenant-General Sunrise Storm, Wasteland Guardian Second in Command."
Purple held back his tears and they went back to the town of Crimson.
___
By the same creek again Purple just cried his eyes out over losing Sunrise Storm where she was his first friend in the Wasteland he made and he had some romantic feelings for her. But he can't say anything about it but he knows she died painlessly because she was vaporized when the engines blew up.
"She's a hero." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Doesn't matter how you see it, Sunrise she's a hero. Base he started to stray far from the Grand Pegasus Enclave's ideals and ideology and all that and started to recruit and "recruit" outsiders to fight for him."
Purple told Lieutenant Honey Cake that she said recruit twice.
"He's actually having ponies join his forces for a "better future"." said Lt Honey Cake, "And captured ponies he forces to join them. I wish I could say something to the Grand Pegasus Enclave's council but he blackmailed me so I can't."
"Let me guess." said Purple, "Because you and two hundred and nine other mares are carrying my foals? Because one hundred and four of them you artificially inseminated while I was in a medically induced coma and the other one hundred and five you ordered them to have sex with me to get them pregnant?"
Lt Honey Cake told Purple that he's right but doesn't care if the foals aren't pegasi and told them to lie where if they birth a unicorn or an alicorn then to lie that in their blood they have part unicorn because their descendants was a unicorn and pegasi husband and wife and all that.
Purple even told Lt Honey Cake that the note that Sunrise Storm sent before the ship's destruction says that he shouldn't cry for her and yet.
Purple's Pipbuck even removed Sunrise Storm's perks of Cloak and Critical Strike are gone and out of all Purple misses her the most.
